Teaching is a rewarding, exciting and fulfilling profession. By bringing your skills and knowledge to the classroom, you can make a real difference to the lives of young people. Every day you are able to share your enthusiasm for learning so that it will inspire others to realise their potential and to discover their talents. Teachers shape the lives of future generations. This is an exciting prospect for all teachers and despite some challenges, it remains the most rewarding and deeply satisfying career. Teaching salaries are competitive and there are many opportunities for professional development and career progression. Generous holidays allow you to pursue your hobbies and interests, travel and spend time with family and friends. 4 What is CTTP & SCITT? Our Initial Teacher Training takes candidates under the School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) and School Direct programmes and provides a great alternative to training through a university. Because our training is school based, we provide you with practical, job based learning from the start. As you are working in a school, you are also much more likely to get a job at the end of your training. In fact, 100% of our trainees go on to secure a teaching role. At Carmel, we have been inspiring the next generation of teachers for over 16 years and now provide Initial Teacher Training to over 120 trainees every year.

The course allowed me to look closely at my strengths and areas for development, but also gave me the time and showed me ways to improve. I had relatively little experience in a traditional classroom setting, but the course is designed to adapt to personal needs and this was perfect for me. With the support from all the tutors and staff, I quickly increased in confidence and before I knew it, I was teaching a whole series of lessons! I was able to spend time in KS1 and KS2, and this helped me to find where I enjoyed working the most. I now have my first teaching post in Year 6. All of the training has given me a fantastic understanding into the development of the children’s learning journey. This has been aided by academic writing and masters modules. Every aspect of my development as a teacher was thought of, covered and supported throughout and I feel it has given me the best start to my teaching career I could have asked for. Andy Summers - Secondary Trainee The ITT course at CTTP was an extremely enjoyable experience for me. The support and advice I received from both mentors - main placement and second school placement - was outstanding and definitely helped me to develop as a teacher. The feedback I received was constructive and supported me in deepening my knowledge and understanding of the teaching standards; it also gave me clear guidance on what I needed to do in order to develop and improve throughout the year. At times it may have seemed that there were a lot of aspects of the programme to keep on top of, however, on reflection, I know now just how thoroughly prepared I was for my career in teaching. I have been very fortunate to secure a one-year full time teaching position for this year. The CTTP training definitely set me apart from other candidates as I can effectively and confidently take up the role of a full time teacher. Furthermore, I believe that the breadth of topics covered during training days has also increased my employability by allowing me to apply theoretical principles to my practical teaching experiences. Finally and most importantly, the support networks provided by CTTP were faultless. There is clearly a desire to provide CTTP trainees with the most positive and supportive experiences throughout the training year and all staff involved have contributed to that. 9 Location of Partnership Schools Primary Secondary Carmel College, Darlington 1.
